*Note, October 2011: These comments below were
made prior to publication of recent work on neuroscience and the different
aspects of human brain function. Dr. Porges and Dr. Eagleman [more]
join others who are mapping out the aspects of brain and nervous system function
that lead to people having what seem like different parts of themselves. When
you read the essay below, please substitute the words "other aspects" for
"multi-dimensional".

Discussing this is one of the most enjoyable parts
of my discussions on my practice. I have sat in
lectures and learned in clinics of doctors of Ayurvedic medicine, Traditional
Chinese Medicine, Homeopathy, Iridology, and other approaches that recognize
Life is more than the visible/physical structure we can see. Each of these
systems uses what I sometimes call "multi-dimensional diagnosis." This means
that the practitioner looks at the person in front of them and thinks of how the
unseen factors cause problems and how these can be treated to create solutions.
This is a very complex concept and I welcome your looking over my shoulder in
the same way I looked over the shoulders of my teachers. Once you develop the
ability to perceive the effects of multiple factors, you will appreciate more deeply what this
web site teaches.

This
book stimulated Albert Einstein in his conjectures about the nature of reality.
It illustrates that there may be other aspects to life than people currently
understand.
This is an important concept to physicists and philosophers, as well as
physicians and people interested in understanding and improving health.

In
the same way, Homeopathy involves other "dimensions" than we can easily perceive.

E = mc2Homeopathy
is based on the insightful observations of Samuel Hahnemann, M.D., and others
since his time, that the physical substances we can perceive on earth are
actually the solid evidence of items that have energy aspects to their
makeup. When these higher are activated during homeopathic
"potentization" (a process of sequential dilution and vibration) then
the medication thus created can stimulate the human's innate healing ability to
bring the body's physiology into a healing mode.

All
writing and case examples of homeopathy are essentially versions of the human
attempt to describe this Energy/Physical phenomenon to other humans who are
only used to thinking in terms of their physical existence.

He began to
triturate (grind) and succuss (shake) the medicinal substances,
discovering by experiment that the highly diluted remedies were even
more potent after they had been succussed... The universe was
pervaded by the vital force. Hahnemann was no theoretical mystic; he
was a practical experimenter whose reach in these matters exceeded
his grasp because he was confronted with material two hundred years
before a vocabulary to deal with it had been developed. Even now
most of us still operate in a Newtonian, pre-Einsteinian universe,
despite the fact that modern physics has revealed its partiality..
"It is only the ignorant vulgar that still look upon matter as dead
mass, for from its interior can be elicited incredible and hitherto
unsuspected powers...".

From
SpecialNote on Dr. Bastyr and Dr. Abrams: Dr.
Bastyr kept an Abrams "Black Box" device in his office. I am convinced that this
was a statement to us all that even though something can become the object of
ridicule and derision, it may be a clue to a truth that in later years would be
accepted. My understanding is that the initial observation Dr. Albert Abrams made was that if a
patient were standing facing to the geographical West, then the result of
percussion of the abdomen would be different than when they stood facing other
directions. To me, this makes sense and was hammered home to me last year when
looking at television coverage of hurricanes -- they always rotate in a specific
direction that ends up with an aspect of their orientation pointing towards the
West. This could only be seen from high in space using a satellite for imaging
the cloud patterns, something that Dr. Abrams, Dr. Bastyr and other early
doctors and "students of Nature" did not have at their disposal.
However, those whose world view (and pocket book) was threatened attacked him.
(See links below to sites about Dr. Abrams' discoveries.)
